Either that or the "TARDIS" chip. The logic gates are bigger on the inside than on the outside in order to get around moore's law.....

Is it really neccesary to explain who intel is on /.? I think even my parents know that intel makes chips, they put out enough commercials... Are even our taco overlords not really reading TFS before hitting that submit button?

The next step of the plan: negative-sized chips by 2050!
Shortly after, expect an increase in e-mails on how you can enlarge your CPU through medication.

I'd love to see it but for the moment it's just numbers on a slide. About a gazzilion dollars in research are needed to get to those dimensions.
I don't pretend to be able to meaningfully comment on how likely they are to make it, but that is a fair description of Intel's business model over the last 30 years.

That's great. Planning for the future must truly be what separates man from beast. I do the same thing. Here's my personal roadmap:

2011) - Win Powerball. Quit job
2012) - Use lottery winnings to build self-sufficient compound to survive Mayan apocalypse.
2013) - Now that I'm the only one in the world with means of survival, all the girls will like me. Procreate wildly to start new human race.

We are talking about making meta-materials to recreate the effects of the Big Bang and Blackholes...
And if we can make a Blackhole in Meta-materials, we should (in theory) be able to invert the effect and create a Whitehole.
Oh hell yes, lets make some more space! (and time!)
Just keep Lister away from the pool table.
